Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I

I use it as a replacement for the DS-2CD2032, which have already been discontinued. The resolution is higher (4MP), the picture quality is excellent. Cameras are 100% original, I connected them to my native ezviz cloud without any problems, everything works like clockwork. Configured to send snapshots once a minute to FTP (in the latest firmware, you can finally write the server URL, and not its IP-schnick, which can change from third-party FTP servers, especially during DDOS attacks). I don’t use the motion detector, I don’t check it.

There are no drawbacks for such parameters and quality.

The best semi-professional cameras for organizing video surveillance of remote objects. They work in frost and heat. A sealed case, rain and snow she does not care. Sometimes in the summer in the early mornings dew falls, respectively 5-10 minutes the picture is "in the soap", then the dew evaporates and the "soap" passes without a trace (dew does not condense on the inside of the chamber).

Moisture protection. Variety of settings. Stability. The maximum resolution is 4 megapixels (2048x1536), as a result there is good picture detail both during the day and at night. Possibility to configure recording by time or by event. Easy to install. PoE - Power over twisted pair. Own cloud service for remote viewing.

Lack of microphone. The web interface does not work well with all browsers. The native remote viewing service is not always stable.

Weatherproofness allows you to easily mount the camera outdoors. A reliable manufacturer allows you to forget about problems once you set up the camera. Good proprietary software for remote viewing on your phone or tablet.

The camera is made with high quality. It has excellent characteristics and is reliable. Able to work in the harsh conditions of the Far North and hot south, it is reliably protected from moisture penetration into the body. He sees perfectly in the dark. Power is supplied via PoE according to the 802.3af standard and through a separate 12-volt power supply unit. The camera can also work through the EZVIZ cloud service. The transmitted data is encrypted.

Fixed visor that cannot be rotated 90 degrees when working in corridor mode. This can contribute to lateral illumination of the lens, or rainfall from the unprotected side.

I have been using the camera for several years now. Operating conditions are different.But most often she has to work in harsh northern conditions, when frequent daily temperature drops can reach twenty degrees or more. The camera worked great even when the thermometer dropped below 50 degrees. A device with a fixed focus, and before purchasing it is necessary to understand what functions it will perform. Having two configurable video streams allows the camera to transmit data over 3G networks, which can be very useful in the absence of wired Internet or WiFi networks.

Weatherproof, sealed enclosure. The camera works in frost and heat.
Wide angle lens 4mm.
Matrix 4MP. Resolution 2688x1520 Pix.
ONVIF Compatibility - Suitable for most remote viewing services.

Unstable native remote viewing service.
Fixed visor.
Lack of microphone.

I bought a HikVision DS-2CD2042WD-I ip-camera (4MM) about a year ago. I had to buy only a PoE injector for it. Installation and connection with the remote viewing service went smoothly - it took no more than an hour. Camera settings are simple and straightforward - once you set it up, you can forget about problems with the camera. The entire period of use the camera works flawlessly in temperature conditions from -35 to +35 degrees. I recommend buying!

Compactness, high resolution, power and video transmission over one cable, infrared illumination up to 20-30 meters, the ability to install outdoors in our weather conditions.

I bought a camera in order to look after my car, which I park in front of my windows. Since I live on the second floor, I was advised to take a camera with a resolution of at least 3 megapixels, so that I could consider at least some details, in which case. In general, I decided to take this camera, which has a 4MP resolution. It is installed at a height of about 9 meters, and I park the car at a distance of about 15 meters from the house. So, with all this, thanks to the digital zoom, I can easily see the license plate, the faces of people who walked next to the car. I installed the iVMS application on my home laptop, on my smartphone, and now I can watch an online picture from anywhere, which is very convenient. The camera supports PoE power, but I do not use this function, because I have a regular switch to which it is connected, perhaps in the future I will purchase a power supply with PoE power and this will allow only one cable to pass to the camera through which the video image will be transmitted and at the same time, power is supplied to the camera.
To save space, I set up the recording schedule on my laptop in the iVMS application so that it only records at night while I sleep. It is very comfortable.
The camera is equipped with infrared illumination, which hits my car even in the absence of additional light sources.
In the future, I'm thinking about purchasing a DVR for this camera, so as not to occupy my laptop at night, but to completely assign the role of recording to this recorder.
